In order to control the non-point source pollution, a vegetative filter strips (VFS) was set up and the site-monitoring was performed. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of the plant coverage on treatment efficiency of total nitrogen (T-N) and total phosphorus (T-P) using vegetative filter strips. According to the results, it seemed that the treatment efficiencies of T-N and T-P were closely related with the plant coverage ratio. The results showed that treatment efficiency of T-P average 50% at higher than 50% of the plant coverage and 20~23% at lower than 50% of the plant coverage. Also, the treatment efficiency of T-N increased with the increase of the plant coverage ratio.

This study evaluates the performance of the packed bed scrubber and proposes the optimization of spray system for improvements of collection efficiency. The packed bed scrubber is used primarily in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The mean diameter of entering solid particles in scrubber is the submicron. The impaction between water droplets and solid particles is an important factor in removing the solid particles. Thus, the coverage area of spray system influences on the collection efficiency. The collection efficiency of a single droplet is calculated through the mathematical model and numerical calculations are performed for coverage area for each nozzle type (Droplet diameters: 500, 319.5, $289.5{\mu}m$) and injected directions (0, 15, $30^{\circ}$). In case of nozzle type 3, the collection efficiency of a single droplet is highest but the collection efficiency of spray system has lowest value because the ratio of flow rate between the gas and water is below 0.1. The results show the coverage area ratio is about 85% in the case of nozzle type 3 and downward sirection $15^{\circ}$. It was shown that a coverage area increase by two times than an existing spray system. In simulation of demister, collection efficiency by demister is predicted about 80% and the pressure drop in demister is below 3.5 Pa.

본 논문에서는 이동 에드혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad hoc network: MANET)에서의 상황인식 기반의 스케쥴링 기법인 CSWC(Coverage Scheduling Weight-value Control) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 LEACH 알고리즘은 확률적 분포 함수에 의해 커버리지 영역 안에 존재 하는 클러스터 헤드노드를 선택하여 중계노드로 통신한다. 하지만 확률적 분포함수에 의해 선택된 헤드 노드가 커버리지 영역에서 전송거리 비율이 비균형으로 나뉘어 전송할 경우, 노드의 에너지 소모가 일정하지 않아 효율적으로 사용하지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 최적의 커버리지 영역을 설정하여 유지하는 CSWC알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 커버리지 영역이 비균형으로 설정되어 있을 경우, 커버러지 영역을 결정하는 홉 수를 증가시켜 최적의 커버리지 영역을 제공하는 알고리즘이다. 주어진 모의실험 환경에서 노드의 효율적인 커버리지 영역을 설정하여 네트워크의 최적화된 에너지 소모를 보여주고 있다.

무선 센서 네트워크의 센서 노드들은 한정된 자원을 가지고 있으며 배터리의 교체가 어렵다는 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 기법은 매우 중요하다. 지금까지 이러한 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 최소화하기 위하여 다양한 스케줄링 문제 및 해결 방안에 관한 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 특히 CTC(Connected Target Coverage) 문제는 타겟 커버리지와 연결성을 동시에 고려하여 센서 노드들의 효율적인 상태 전이 시점을 결정하는 대표적인 스케줄링 문제로 간주된다. 본 논문에서는 중복되어 센싱되는 타겟을 고려한 보다 올바른 센서 에너지 소비 모델을 제안하고 센서 네트워크의 수명을 더욱 연장 할 수 있는 CMTC(Connected Multiple-Target Coverage) 문제를 제시한다. 또한, 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 SPT(Shortest Path based on Targets) Greedy 알고리즘을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안기법이 기존기법보다 센서 네트워크의 수명을 더욱 연장하는 기법임을 보인다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop an optimal combine scheduling program using Max-Coverage algorithm which derives the maximum efficiency for a specific location in harvest seasons. Methods: The combine scheduling program was operated with information about combine specification and farmland. Four operating types (Max-Coverage algorithm type, Boustrophedon path type, max quality value type, and max area type) were selected to compare quality and working capacity. Result: The working time of Max-Coverage algorithm type was shorter than others, and the total quality value of Max-Coverage algorithm and max quality value type were higher than others. Conclusion: The developed combine scheduling program using Max-Coverage algorithm will provide optimal operation and maximum quality in a limited area and time.

Power-efficient base station (BS) operation is one of the important issues in future green cellular networks. Previously well-known BS operation schemes, the cell zooming scheme and the cell wilting and blossoming scheme, require tight cooperation between cells in cellular networks. With the previous schemes, the non-cooperative BSs of a serving cell and neighboring cells could cause coverage holes between the cells, thereby seriously degrading the quality of service as well as the power saving efficiency of the cellular networks. In this paper, we propose a novel power-efficient BS operation scheme for green downlink heterogeneous cellular networks, in which the networks virtually adjust the coverage of a serving macrocell (SM) and neighboring macrocells (NMs) without adjusting the transmission power of the BSs when the SM is lightly loaded, and the networks turn off the BS of the SM when none of active users are associated with the SM. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme significantly improves the power saving efficiency without degrading the quality of service (e.g., system throughput) of a downlink heterogeneous LTE network and outperforms the previous schemes in terms of system throughput and power saving efficiency. In particular, with the proposed scheme, macrocells are able to operate independently without the cooperation of a SM and NMs for green heterogeneous cellular networks.

Finite failure NHPP models presented in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault. Accurate predictions of software release times, and estimation of the reliability and availability of a software product require quantification of a critical element of the software testing process : test coverage. This model called enhanced non-homogeneous poission process(ENHPP). In this paper, exponential coverage and S-coverage model was reviewed, proposes the exponentiated exponential coverage reliability model, which maked out efficiency substituted for gamma and Weibull model(2 parameter shape illustrated by Gupta and Kundu(2001). In this analysis of software failure data, algorithm to estimate the parameters used to maximum likelihood estimator and bisection method, model selection based on SSE statistics for the sake of efficient model, was employed.

Uniform application of agri-chemicals will improve orchard pest management. An air-blast(orchard) sprayer designed for vineyards has been used: however, few research on the uniformity and coverage of the sprays has been reported. Distributions of spray coverage were measured with artificial targets and analyzed to enhance the efficiency of spray application. A structure was built to place water sensitive papers, sampling spray droplets blasted from the orchard sprayer. The sampling cards were collected from five directions at three distances (2.5, 3.0 and 3.5m) for two fan speeds (2,075 and 3,031 rpm), and analyzed using an image analysis system. The distribution of the coverage percent area did not follow the wind velocity pattern. The coverage by the low fan speed was more uniform and higher than that by the higher fan speed. The coverage percent area decreased with an increase of distance. The distribution of droplet density was similar to that of coverage. However, the coverage contribution by smaller droplets became more significant as the distance increased. The upward blasting distance was limited within 3m, but the limit to the ground level was expanded the distance more than 3.5m because of the concentrated droplets.

Since the sensor nodes are randomly arranged in the region of interest, it may happen that the sensor network area is separated or there is no sensor node in some area. In addition, after the sensor nodes are deployed in the sensor network, a coverage hole may occur due to the exhaustion of energy or physical destruction of the sensor nodes. The coverage hole can greatly affect the overall performance of the sensor network, such as reducing the data reliability of the sensor network, changing the network topology, disconnecting the data link, and worsening the transmission load. Therefore, sensor network coverage hole recovery has been studied. Existing coverage hole recovery studies present very complex geometric methods and procedures in the two-step process of finding a coverage hole and recovering a coverage hole. This study proposes a method for discovering and recovering a coverage hole in a sensor network, discovering that the sensor node is a boundary node by itself, and determining the location of a mobile node to be added. The proposed method is expected to have better efficiency in terms of complexity and message transmission compared to previous methods.

본 논문에서는 Non-transparent 모드 MMR 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. Non-transparent MMR 시스템은 Single-frame(in band)와 Multi-frame(out band) 두 가지의 전송 방식을 갖는데 모드에 따라 프레임 구조가 다르기 때문에 그에 따른 성능 또한 달라질 수 있다. 성능 분석은 각 모드에 따른 지연, 프레임의 효율, RS (Relay Station) 를 사용한 최대 홉 수로 나타냈다. 지연과 프레임 효율의 경우 BS (Base Station) 의 커버리지와 RS의 커버리지의 비율 값, RS의 개수를 변화시키면서 성능을 분석한다. 그리고 분석을 위해 BS, MS (Mobile Station), 그리고 RS 간의 채널 간섭은 없고 각각의 커버리지는 원으로 가정한다. 결과를 통해 single-frame 방식이 multi-frame 방식보다 효율적임을 알 수 있다. 향후 IEEE802.16j MMR 환경뿐만 아니라 차세대 이동통신망에서 릴레이를 사용하여 휴대 인터넷 서비스 지역과, 셀룰러 망을 넓히는데 있어 참고할 만한 가이드라인이 될 수 있을 것이다.
